Lemmy.ml has a slur filter and b!tch is on there. Not only is it a slur folter but it’s apparently the kind of implementation that people always use as an example of how not to do a filter. If you type something on it we will all see it as “removed”. If @DarkGamer says it, you see “removed”, I (kbin) see the actual word.
I found some old posts complaining about it and apparently some people trying to write St@rdew were having it come out as “S removed ew”. Not sure if that one’s still there but I put the symbols in just in case.
What? Why do I see “removed” instead of whatever curse is uttered?

The word is censored on your Instance - Lemmy.ml
Maybe it’s a lemmy.ml setting? I still see my original uncensored comment on kbin.social.
